# Memory Games vs Concentration

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Concentration at none against Memory Games's 11. Concentration also leads on ads (none vs shown). Memory Games's advantage is ratings volume (901 vs 10). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Memory Games sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Concentration asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Memory Games against 4.7 for Concentration. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Memory Games has 901 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two.
